Humphrey Bogart as a stupid Napoleon-crazed gangster! A little sad seeing Bogart being fooled so easily here, and by a gal too! At least this part gives him a chance to play a dangerous mobster again, even if he becomes Kay Francis' bitch.

A routine Warner programmer starring Kay Francis (just before she began taking second billing to--ouch!--Deanna Durbin), Bogart (about to break out, but still a second-rate tough guy) and James Stephensen (the proper English gentleman, later very good as the lawyer in "The Letter", whose career went almost nowhere at all). If you're bored, try it: the plot--although silly--is weird, Francis is elegant, Bogart is fun as a dimwitted psychopath, and the movie is only sixty-seven minutes long.
